It’s Golden Globe day, you guys, or as I think of it, SuperGlobe Sunday. (I actually just made that up like five seconds ago when I needed a post title but I like it so much I’m going to convince myself it’s what I’ve always called it). Makes sense, because I’ve long thought of this […]

Happy New Year, my Bachelor-lovin’ friends! What better way to usher in a brand new year than with a brand new Bachelor! HAHAHA JUST KIDDING. I haven’t been dreading a season this much since psychotic-in-a-silent-way Jake Pavelka. What is it about serial contestant Nick Viall (pronounced “Vile” because God has a kick-ass sense of humor) […]

Sorry for the delay, you guys. It’s taken me a full 48 hours to even sit down with my laptop and try to type coherent thoughts about the four part Gilmore-palooza. My mind has been processing slower than my digestive system working on all that Velveeta I consumed on Thursday and Friday. Why? Because I […]

Well hello Friday! It’s good to see you again! I don’t know how your week has gone, but mine has f*l*o*w*n by as quickly as the leaves are flying from the trees in my wooded backyard. Good for my week, sad for my trees. While this week brought a definite fall chill to my Minneapolis suburbia […]

The good old Friday Favorites are back, ya’ll, and I have two words for you. Shut. Up. Without going into a long explanation of the mental state I’m clearly in to be as hypocritical indecisive and flustered about something so trivial, let me just say that as much as I thought I liked the idea […]

It’s not surprising that I’m proud of my 15-year-old daughter for loads of things. She’s smart, talented, funny, empathetic, kind, driven, and possesses a wicked, sarcastic sense of humor. But what I might actually be most proud of her for—and what won’t be surprising to those who know me—is this: she’s a superfan. Superfan [soo-per-fan] noun A person who exhibits […]

ARE YA’LL READY FOR THIS?? It’s game time, fellow superfans. The long off-season is over and it’s time for kickoff! For the next five months we’ll be predicting, wagering, diagraming, cheering, groaning, and drinking as we watch our favorites win and lose. That’s right, folks, it’s the best time of the year: Awards show season. Kicking […]

(Because I’m sure you’ve been waiting all summer to find out.) Apologies for the slightly narcissistic tone of that post title (but I mean, c’mon, it’s a blog) but you guys, I love this time of year.Those of you who’ve been following along for awhile know I’m not talking about pumpkin spice creamer and pumpkin spice […]

Settle down, friends. This isn’t a real recap. But since my crew and I just got caught up on the three episodes we missed while we were in London (although I already knew who’d been SHOCKINGLY cut — thanks a LOT Chris Harrison’s Facebook feed and my stupid compulsion for scrolling social media while taking advantage […]

Let me start this recap with a warning that last night’s episode also should’ve started with: No horses were harmed — or actually violated — in the process. The fact that I even need to say it tells you pretty much all you need to know about the bizarre events of last night’s episode, but […]
